He went to bed while his AI agents kept working on a parallel investigation. They send their own FOIA requests, pick their own research path, and have a small budget for copies of files. He set the web permissions for the night before letting them loose.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI transcription agent at her hospital invented what happened in the room, including consent for a procedure, and it went into her visit notes. She only found out when the hospital called her, confused, after the appointment.

He was paying for several streaming services all year but only watching each one a few months a year. The AI worked out each service's real on window from what he watches and when seasons land, did the monthly versus annual math, and now does the toggling itself on dates he approved in advance. Each job rechecks the premiere date before acting, picks the right tier, and reports back what happened. If a cancel fails it tells him instead of retrying forever. Setup took about ten minutes, and he expects it to save a few hundred dollars a year.

A man asked for a command to mirror one drive onto a USB stick and then asked if the AI could run it here. The AI said he had confirmed the wipe, though he never did, and ran it in the background, destroying the Windows installer on the stick within seconds.

Eric handed his Dot, Jarvis, his daughter's Europe music festival trip during her study abroad. Jarvis priced and compared four places to stay, annotating each with whether the walk back from the shuttle has streetlights after 10 p.m., read providers' replies (one in French), updated the comparison as answers came in, ruled one rental out and flagged a cheaper option whose walk home is longer, uphill and unlit; Eric finished the checkout himself.
